  1. I'm living in an apartment now so just some house plants. But being that this is one of my favorite songs and your pic is so damn funny I had to comment. Thyme is definitely on your side!
  2. Would you? haha sheez I find it interesting that not long ago you made mention of the rise of internet and how it's helped us seek out and focus on things we agree with. Then you give a link that supports the belief that the mainstream media is not liberal. A view which you obviously believe is true but also one in which I can search on the internet and provide a link supporting the other opinion. I never said the left was "dominating the media with their hate". I said it's found on both sides. Bill Maher and Chris Matthews can both be ass holes and mean sometimes. There are some rad
  3. The right may have a dominance in radio but the left is pretty strong on television and the Internet. There is hate on both sides. That was my original point. As far as Rush goes, if I stopped watching or listening to everyone who may say something I disagree with or has an opinion that may *gasp* offend someone I'd have to turn off every bit of news or media or reporting or entertainment. I also know that there's an element of entertainment to just about all of these pundits. I enjoy trying to see things from other points of view or at the very least see why other people view things the way
  4. I think it's the same on both sides. Both talking shit on the other. I love watching and reading and listening to both sides of the aisle. I'm not sure of what hate you're saying Rush has been pushing but I can't think of anything other than the typical political talk show stuff.
  5. It's the shooters fault. I think the father should share in some responsibility as well. I heard on the NPR that the father was asked if he knew his son may be gay and he said no and that he would not forgive him if he were. Love and compassion
  6. I don't need anyone to do anything for me to be satisfied. I never said they need to apologize. My point was what I thought it would be helpful if the media covered Muslims denouncing this action more. (And you recognized that) When a "radical extremist Christian" shoots an abortion clinic or a movie theater I absolutely believe Christians should denounce those acts and the media, I think, should show that more as well.
  7. I saw headlines....after I searched as you did. Unfortunately it's not being put in the front as I think it should. I'd like to see people marching in peace and solidarity for unity on the television and websites instead of people marching with masks on their face and black Isis flags. (Like we tend to see now) If we're saying this person was brainwashed or mislead by the Internet and websites and teachers who pervert this religion then I think we need to combat it with peaceful loving Muslims taking a stand....and it being broadcasted. Say what you will, that this guy acted alone or he did n
  8. I wish the media would spend more time on the Muslim people in AND outside the US denouncing this and other such violence. I think it could help build some sense of unity. I think the American people need to see scores of these people denouncing this violence. I think maybe other Muslims need to see it? If it's out there....and if it's not, it should be.
  9. It sure is easy to call someone racist. It's even easier to call a republican a racist. It seems fun for some on the left. I can't understand why when left politicians say racist things it gets swept under the rug as a joke or a misunderstanding. Clinton saying "super predator" or the "cp time". Or Obama and his typical white person remark Or our beloved Vice President and his 7-eleven, Dunkin donuts comment. Or his comment about Obama being the first mainstream African-American who's good looking, articulate, bright and CLEAN.
  10. The right believes what they believe and the left believe what they believe. Aside from that, I was pointing out the similar ways that both sides have reacted to candidates in the past and in the present.
  11. Are these "protestors" that were sucker punching and throwing things at Trump supporters going to vote in November? Despite the violence that happened inside the Trump rallies earlier in the campaigns, the footage from yesterday shows extreme escalation. I can't help but think the vulgar chants, signs and sucker punching only encourages more support for Trump. I hope this is not what we have to look forward to inside and outside the DNC in Philadelphia this July.
  12. I can't help but draw a comparison between the right and their disdain and vitriol for Obama, while he was running for president, and the lefts current contempt and rhetoric for Trump.
  13. Anyone else feel like all the attention the media is placing on Trump (bad or good) is helping him? Even the smallest thing he does gets reported and has a panel of 4 to tear it apart or applaud.
  14. Hell, I thought Trump supporters got a little rowdy. I think Bernies "Berners" are taking the cake!
  15. I'm so glad to see you posted this, Donna. Guy Clark and his music have influenced me greatly. I was lucky enough to see him a few times and even got the opportunity to eat some Texas Cookin' and share the same picnic table as him and Verlon Thompson in Mineola Texas. He didn't just write songs, he built them. Today the weather has been wet, cold and grey. Couldn't be more appropriate.
  16. Isn't this similar to what Biden said 2 decades ago?
  17. My prediction of Kasich having a big night did not necessarily mean that those Dem crossover votes went to him. (Although I wouldn't be surprised, since he is the governor) And how did I know it would make no sense to you whatsoever?
  18. Crossover voters Dem to Rep is way up in many counties in OH. It will be interesting to see who those votes are for. Kasich may have a big night
  19. Everyone of the candidates running for president lies. They tell us what they believe their voters want to hear. Whether it's true or not. Personally, I believe calling someone a racist is one helluva accusation and I wouldn't do it unless it were true. i think it gets thrown around too much.
  20. These days, it seems, all one needs to do is yell out, "racist!" and it is so.
  21. I see what I'm supposed to do! Damn hand guns! We need to make them harder to get. If only the gun show loop hole was shut down this might not have happened. Got it.
  22. Careless and irresponsible gun owner. What a sad situation. But what legislation would have prevented this? Handguns will never be illegal to own. I guess I just don't understand why this was brought up in the first place. Unless to just fight and beat the horse some more.
  23. If you're white you don't know what it's like to be poor.
